Stunt Description

Mage

Will

Sixth Sense

When determining initiative in fights, roll Will instead of Reaction Time.

The Mage is a magic user that exists outside the established dogma of magical traditions. Their Art, whatever its origins, allows them to emulate the techniques of other casters.

All mages must have a permission that justifies their spell casting (Hermetic Education or Eldritch Font). Mages may take Lay Magic stunts that do not match their permission. They may not take the full-fledged version of any magical tradition, but are welcome to develop their own later in the game.
